Tomlin strayed onto the edge of the field, causing Jones to slightly alter his course. Cortez Allen caught Jones at the 27-yard line, which he might have done anyway, but his task was easier because of Tomlin.

No flag was thrown, and Pittsburgh's defense kept the Ravens out of the end zone, forcing them to settle for a field goal instead of a TD. Baltimore went on to win 22-20.

"I always watch the returns on the Jumbotron. It provides a better perspective for me," Tomlin said after the game. "Obviously I lost my placement as he broke free, and I saw it at the last second, saw how close I was to the field of play."

The same video screen showed Tomlin smiling after Jones' return. When asked about it, the coach said, "They always like to show me on the Jumbotron here in Baltimore. I appreciate that." Asked if he thought he interfered with Jones on the play, Tomlin said, "No."

The league later fined Tomlin $100,000 and told the team it could also lose a pick in this year's draft.
